The Rangers Shouldn’t Rush Into an Artemi Panarin Contract Extension

A make-or-break year looms for both Panarin and the Rangers—will loyalty, cap space, or future flexibility win out?

The Rangers Need a Specific New Kind of Head Coach

The Rangers’ reliance on recycled coaches is holding them back. Is it time to take a fresh approach with a leader who understands development?

What A Contract Extension for Will Cuylle Could Look Like

Will Cuylle’s blend of skill & physicality makes him a perfect fit for New York’s evolving identity. But how much will it cost to keep him in blue?

Love it or not, Borgen at $4.1 x 5 is likely better than anything #NYR  could do over the summer or even at the trade deadline.

I’ve slept on it & I really like the Will Borgen deal. I think there’s potential with this current D-core and they’re one Ryan Lindgren upgrade away from something really solid. 5-years for a 28-year old is fine. $4.1 is a little steep but with the cap going up, is nothing. Solid stuff #NYR

#NYR drafted two right handed centers in the 3rd round of the 2021 draft and have already moved on from both of them.

Jayden Grubbe was dealt before signing an ELC (wasn’t going to sign with the Rangers)

And now Korzack.
The #NYR have announced a minor league trade: They've acquired forward Lucas Edmonds from Tampa Bay in exchange for forward Ryder Korczak. Edmonds, 23, has played 26 games this season for the AHL Syracuse Crunch.
